IBM High IOPS Hardware Installation Guide for ioMemory VSL 3.2.6
Plug the product end of the cable (shown above) into the device. Plug the other end of the cable (shown below)
into an available power source cable. Consult your server documentation for available power options. Some servers
may require alternative power sources and adapters to connect with the cable.
Attention!
There are two power cables supplied with the IBM High IOPS Duo Adapters, a 2x3 pin supporting one
Duo and a 2x4 pin supporting three Duos. These power cables mate directly to the corresponding aux
power connectors available in most IBM servers. However some IBM servers utilize a different aux power
connector, typically white in color, which is physically a 2x4 but will not accept the 2x4 cable supplied.
For these applications, the 2x3 pin cable is to be used. Care should be taken to insure that the 2x3 cable
mates properly with the 2x4 aux power connector. Due to the square and "D" shaped housing of the
power cable connector and corresponding holes in the aux power connector, they will only fit together
one way.
